Under \u201cSystem\u201d, choose \u201cOptions\u201d and flip to the third page of the \u201cGame Settings\u201d menu.

Considering how important and defining a hunter\u2019s weapon is, Capcom probably wanted players\u2019 weapons to be visible at all times during gameplay. While most weapons block you from viewing your character, it does a better job of immersing you in the world and makes it easy for other players to identify your loadout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Monster Hunter Wilds is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tired of gear covering up the character who you spent hours creating?
